Prince Harry, Meghan Markle uninvited to the funeral party
It seems that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not invited to Queen Elizabeth II’s pre-funeral party at Buckingham Palace. new report from the British Telegraph.
The couple received an invitation to a grand event organized by King Charles III and Queen Consort Camila for world leaders and foreign royalty. But apparently they have now been informed that only working British royalty are welcome.
According to the point of sale, it was unclear why Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, were ever invited, and the royal advisers insisted they should not attend.
Sources said the couple “seemed surprised” at the apparent confusion.
President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron are among the hundreds of heads of state who will arrive in London ahead of the monarch’s funeral on Monday.
The Queen died on September 8 at the age of 96 after a historic 70-year reign.
Markle and Harry have been in Britain for a while, mourning the Queen with Prince William, Kate Middleton and the rest of the royal family. The couple reconnected with the British on public tours.
Markle and Harry in particular raised their eyebrows when it was noticed that they were holding hands during the monarch’s procession on Wednesday – as they are again no longer working members of the royal family. But also because their display of affection was a “violation” of protocol.
“Harry and Meghan are bereaved relatives and are not bound by royal protocol,” body language expert Inbaal Honigman told British newspaper The Daily Express in defense of Harry and Markle.
The parents of two children – who share a son Archie (3 years old) and a 15-month-old daughter Lilibet – relinquished their royal duties as Duke and Duchess of Sussex in January 2020 due to ongoing issues such as media control and internal family turmoil. They have since moved from England to Markle’s native California.
The confusion about Harry and the former actress “The Suit” at the pre-funeral party is due to mixed news about the prince’s right to wear a military uniform when he visits the house.
Harry’s father, 73-year-old Charles, finally granted Harry permission to wear this outfit during the Saturday vigil for Elizabeth.
